Default Fresh Paint

The picture quality is the pits, but I just had to post a photo of my Tudor fresh out of the paint shop. Expectations Body Shop did an amazing job restoring the original metal to like new condition. Here's the before and after.

Admittedly, I drifted a little off the reservation on the color. It's Michigan Blue, a nonmetallic blue Ford offered recently on Police Interceptor Crown Vics.

I think it will look great when I finish the wheels in Tacoma Cream.

It was deceptively beautiful. Mechanically it was in shambles.
But then again, what fun would it be to just blow off 50 years of dust and be road worthy?
